ViFresh

Easy. Invisible. Fresh.

ViFresh

Villeroy & Boch's innovative ViFresh technology combines a fresh fragrance and cleaning action in a very user-friendly system. It is based on a simple principle - a compartment in the ceramic water inlet that can be filled with conventional fragranced rim blocks or gels. Each flush distributes a controlled quantity of active ingredients throughout the toilet bowl together with a fresh fragrance.

ViFresh offers some compelling benefits: Blocks and gels can be replaced or refilled without having to touch unhygienic areas such as the toilet bowl or rim. There is no cage that could potentially affect the excellent flush performance of a rimless toilet. Perfectly clean and fresh effect – even in a rimless toilet.

Assembly

The toilet is installed as usual.

ViFresh is now watertight and ready for use. It is supplied with one white and one chrome lid, as well as an easy-to-clean holder for rim blocks or gels - simply rinse in running water before refilling.

FAQs

Which toilets is ViFresh available for?

The new ViFresh technology is currently used only in our Subway 2.0 DirectFlush (5614-A1) and Vivia DirectFlush (4643-A1) DirectFlush toilets. 

What must I bear in mind before and during installation of ViFresh?

There is a special opening in the ceramic and the flushing pipe in which the ViFresh adapter must be securely mounted. Then follow the standard procedure for installing a toilet. 

How can I check that the adapter I have mounted is watertight?

Follow the installation instructions provided. Check the watertightness around the water inflow pipe as you normally would. During installation make sure that all seals are in the correct position. Do a test flush when installation is complete. The inside of the ViFresh lid may be damp, but the O-ring (see below) must stay dry. 

How should I care for ViFresh?

Rinse the holder thoroughly under running water under running water each time you refill toilet gel or replace a rim-block to guarantee lasting benefit. Use a mild soap solution to clean the toilet. Do not leave the toilet seat or hinges damp. Dry them with a soft cloth. Contact with toilet cleaners or chlorinated, abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents may lead to damage or surface rust on the seat/lid and hinges. You should therefore always keep the toilet seat and lid raised until the cleaning agent has been flushed away.

Do I need a special tool to install ViFresh?

The (special) tool required for installation is provided. Do not use metal tools, and do not use excessive force on the ViFresh components.
